Abstract: A separator for separating solids from a slurry has a vibrating rotating container, rotatably connected to a support. The rotating container is provided with at least a first inlet and at least a first outlet and has at least one opening. A screw press is at least partly provided inside said rotating container. The screw press is arranged through said first outlet. The screw press has at least one hole. The at least one hole and a feed screw are provided inside said rotating container in continuation of said screw press. At least one lift paddle is provided inside said rotating container. A first part of the lift paddle is arranged along an inner surface of a side wall of said rotating container. A second part of said lift paddle is in contact with a part of the feed screw. A new method for separating slurry uses a separator.
